Hyosung Heavy Industries Presents Blueprint for Next-Generation Power Grids at World Climate Expo

Introducing Next-Generation Power Technologies, Including HVDC,
at the 2025 World Climate Expo

On August 27, Hyosung Heavy Industries announced that it will participate in the 2025 World Climate Expo (WCE), held at BEXCO in Busan, to present a blueprint for next-generation power grids, including high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems and artificial intelligence (AI).

During the exhibition, which runs from today through August 29, Hyosung Heavy Industries will showcase a range of solutions: the first domestically developed HVDC system, the AI-based power asset management solution ARMOUR, high-voltage circuit breakers and SF6-free gas insulated switchgear (GIS) that reduce greenhouse gas emissions while enhancing insulation performance, and static synchronous compensators (STATCOM) that improve power stability for renewable energy and data centers.

In particular, HVDC is an innovative power transmission technology that minimizes power loss over long distances compared to high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) transmission. Hyosung Heavy Industries' voltage source HVDC technology is optimized for integration with renewable energy sources and is expected to play a central role in the government's recently launched "West Coast Energy Superhighway" project. Hyosung Heavy Industries is the only domestic company to possess proprietary voltage source HVDC technology.

Woo Taehee, CEO of Hyosung Heavy Industries, stated, "We will present a blueprint for the future power ecosystem, where AI and eco-friendly solutions are combined, to both domestic and international customers," adding, "Hyosung Heavy Industries will continue to lead the global energy transition with next-generation power technologies, including HVDC."

The 2025 World Climate Expo is a global climate and energy event hosted by the South Korean government, with the theme "AI for Energy, Energy for AI." The event brings together international organizations, high-level government officials from various countries, and more than 560 companies.
